What Faculty of Law | Bar-Ilan University does

The Faculty of Law at Bar-Ilan University is an academic law faculty within Bar-Ilan University, a private non-profit research university established in 1955 and headquartered in Ramat Gan, Israel. It delivers legal education across three degree tiers — LL.B. (single-major and combined dual degrees with economics, social work, business administration, political science, philosophy, Jewish thought, information science, and history), LL.M. (standard, intensive track for judges and jurists, Regulation and Environmental Policy, and a new Non-Legal Practitioners track opening August 2026), and Ph.D. (including Regulation and Public Policy and Jewish Law/Halakha). The faculty houses seven dedicated research and training centers: the Commercial Law Center, the Ruth and Emanuel Rackman Center for Women's Status, the Menomadin Center for Jewish and Democratic Law, the BIU LawData LAB (digital ethics), the Tager Family Jewish Law Program, the Environmental and Climate Law Center, and Codex Placement Services, alongside an extensive clinical legal education program.

The faculty's technology layer is built on third-party platforms — MOODLE for learning management, Ex Libris Primo and EBSCO for library discovery, and commercial legal databases (Nevo, Lexis, Westlaw) — augmented by an internally developed AI Guide (Techadin) and a dedicated curricular track for integrating AI into legal studies. The product portfolio also includes four academic journals, international student exchanges via the ATLAS consortium and a UIBE-Beijing bilateral agreement, and a four-week international summer school on identity-based conflict resolution.

Revenue is generated from three primary streams: tuition (undergraduate, graduate, doctoral) set by Bar-Ilan University and the Israeli Council for Higher Education; professional training courses for practicing lawyers delivered through the Commercial Law Center with a 125 ILS processing fee and Ministry of Education continuing-education credit recognition; and academic journal licensing/royalties through Bar-Ilan University Press. GTM is sales-led (centralized admissions) supplemented by event-driven open days and Zoom sessions and community-led international summer programs. There is no disclosed revenue figure, as the faculty operates as an internal academic unit of a non-profit university rather than an independent commercial entity.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Tel Aviv University Faculty of Law: One of Israel's largest law schools with a strong international focus and corporate law orientation. Directly competes for LL.B. and LL.M. students and for top legal scholars, with comparable continuing education and clinical programs.
• Hebrew University of Jerusalem Faculty of Law: Israel's oldest and most prestigious law school, offering LL.B., LL.M., and Ph.D. programs in Jerusalem. Direct competitor for the same Israeli applicant pool, faculty talent, and research funding, with a stronger international research reputation.
• University of Haifa Faculty of Law: Israeli law school with comparable LL.B., LL.M., and human rights focus. Direct competitor in the domestic law school applicant pool, with similarly diversified centers and dual-degree programs.
• Reichman University (IDC Herzliya) Radzyner School of Law: Private Israeli law school within Reichman University, known for an entrepreneurial, English-language and international orientation. Competes for the same Israeli law students and continuing professional audience and is a key rival for cross-disciplinary programs.

Broad incumbents

• Georgetown University Law Center: Major US law school with globally recognized LL.M. programs and professional training for practicing lawyers. Comparable in offering comprehensive legal education across multiple degree levels and serving both students and practitioners, with overlap in international law and corporate specialization.
• Harvard Law School: Global benchmark law school offering JD, LL.M., and Ph.D. programs with extensive research centers and journal publishing. Comparable in operating a multi-tiered legal education model with combined degrees, clinics, and law reviews, though at vastly greater scale.
• New York University School of Law: Leading US law school with strong LL.M. program, multiple research centers, and a global student body. Comparable in the international, cross-disciplinary orientation highlighted by Bar-Ilan, and in the use of named centers and institutes under the law school umbrella.

Emerging players

• College of Law and Business (Israel): Smaller, more recently established Israeli law school offering LL.B. and LL.M. programs with a practical, English-language focus. Competes for a similar younger and international student segment, particularly in continuing education.

Regional players

• Hebrew University Safra Center for Ethics and Edmond de Rothschild Center: Hebrew University research centers focused on ethics, religion, and law that intersect with Bar-Ilan's Menomadin Center for Jewish and Democratic Law. Operates in the same Israeli academic and policy ecosystem, addressing overlapping research themes.

Others

• LexisNexis Israel (Nevo): Israeli legal database provider (Nevo) whose tools are integrated into Bar-Ilan's law library. Comparable as a complementary legal education and research infrastructure provider rather than a direct competitor, enabling Bar-Ilan's digital library services.
